I flew from Mco to Cvg on 8/28, first the flight was 2 hours delayed. I was traveling with my 8 month old alone so I had her car seat and stroller packed in bags to gate check. We finally boarded at 12, they were waiting for a battery to be changed then paperwork to be filed, then accepted, then they had to rearrange cargo, and then we had to slowly wait for our turn to take off because of storms in north Florida. We finally took off at 4 pm. When we landed and I finally got to my destination I realized everything that was in my stroller was gone, my wipes , and my babies crocs. Idk how because the stroller bag wasn’t opened but they were gone 🫪 I did get a refund with flight disruption and a 50 dollar voucher. But I want my crocs back lmao

I complained about this over on fb but I feel like I didn’t get to the let the rant fully out. I returned to work from child bonding back in April, taking my pump breaks has been a struggle, pumping is already legitimately the worst thing I’ve ever done, but doing it at work was so much worse than anticipated. First I kept getting talked to every day because during my sessions they would need something out of the office, which quickly turned into unlocking the door and walking in on me pumping, then i started getting pumps late and being questioned on if I could just skip a pump, at one point something was needed and the leader questioned why it was taking so long for me to pump and not understanding why I was in there for x amount of time. All of this led to me going to HR, alll I wanted was for ppl to stop walking in the room while my nipnops were out. (Which is illegal for them to do) Anyway, they got me a sign, and things had been going better, though late pumps were still happening I just accepted my fate of supplementing with formula because it was effecting my supply. A few days ago I had a follow up with my lead saying hey we’re no longer paying you for pumps and you must clock out for them. I didn’t get any warning that was happening and it’s not like I can just drop pumps over night , so now my income took a big hit, my supply is taking a hit from the stress, and im only being scheduled 32 hours so clocking out for pumps is putting me closer to PT hours. It’s stressful, and I actually want to cry daily. Now I don’t get any regular scheduled breaks just pump breaks , which I am trying to be okay with but if you’ve ever pumped you’d understand, pumping is not really a break. If from the beginning I knew I wasn’t going to be paid I could’ve weaned easier while keeping my supply average but finding out months into being back at work after going to HR just felt hurtful. Especially coming from a company who so loudly talks about how they support family life and lactation. Ive literally been anxious everyday before work since April, because every single day there is some issue.
